Translated version
Hajje Westhus
A peat-digger, a soldier of enormous physical strength but with a childlike mind. He is a symbol of pure, unspoiled strength that war senselessly destroys. His simple dream of remaining in the army after the war and becoming a gendarme reveals how war can become the only reality understandable to those with no other prospects.
Original version

Durpių kasikas, didžiulės fizinės jėgos, bet vaikiško mąstymo kareivis. Jis – grynos, nesugadintos jėgos simbolis, kurią karas beprasmiškai sunaikina. Jo paprasta svajonė po karo likti kariuomenėje ir tapti žandaru atskleidžia, kaip karas gali tapti vienintele suprantama realybe tiems, kurie neturi kitų perspektyvų.
